Confidence

There’s plenty of advice online for how to build self-confidence, but there is not much advice available on developing our confidence in others.

Having confidence in a person, company, or process allows us to believe that we can rely on them or it.  That confidence allows us to put our scarce cognitive availability onto other problems or, even better, innovation.

The feeling of confidence usually develops over time, from a combination of consistent results, trustworthy outcomes, and reliable behaviour.

Quickly developing confidence in others is challenging when we’re about to hire a person, or, they get assigned to our project.
